Venice High School Teacher Receives Award
Venice High School will become the only high school in California to offer a nationally accredited graphic arts program.
The largest graphic arts organization announced on Monday that it has awarded Art Lindauer, a Venice High School teacher, with its 2012 Education Award of Excellence.
Printing Industries of America, a graphic arts trade group, established the award as a way to recognize teacher’s success in graphic arts education and training.
Lindauer recently received $3 million in grants from the state and the Los Angeles Unified School District to upgrade printing equipment at the school. He also started an after-school club with the Venice Boys & Girls Club to promote instructional programs with graphic arts trade and industry groups.
